Dave's DIY Guide to Oasis/NOS and Zetnet

OK: Here's Dave's DIY Guide to getting Oasis 1.35 and NOS to work with Zetnet for those of you wanting mailshots or whatever:

If you want the PPP access version, please Click Here.

1) Get hold of the OASIS135.TOS package. This can be obtained from 
   http://wuarchive.wustl.edu/systems/atari/ under something like
   "umich/network/oasis" - it's obvious once you're there.

2) Extract said file, and copy the folders to the root of drive c:

3) Rename the OASIS.135 folder to OASIS.133 (cockup by programmers)

4) Run the installation program.

5) Set it up to the best of your abilities. A few things to consider:
	- No Host name
	- Domain Name "zetnet.co.uk"
	- user name: your email address without the "@zetnet.co.uk"
	- file name: your username (truncated if necessary to fit the 
	  8+3 system used by TOS, eg dave.henderson = DAVE.HEN)
	- organisation: anything you like.
	- newsserver "znews.zetnet.co.uk"
	- DNS or nameserver (if it asks): [194.247.47.47]
	- Ignore all references to dial scripts (find resp etc. phone 
	  number, provider name etc..)


6) Get hold of NOS_POP3.TTP, again available at wustl address in same 
   place.

7) Delete c:\oasis\nos.ttp and copy and rename nos_pop3.ttp to 
   c:\oasis\nosext.ttp

8) Get hold of nosshell.ttp, available at wustl or here.

9) Copy and rename nosshell.ttp to c:\oasis\nos.ttp

10) Delete the c:\oasis\startup.nos file and replace with the 
    one available here - amending as appropriate:

	- pop mailbox FILENAME : change FILENAME to the filename used 
	  earlier in oasis, eg: dave.hen
	- pop userdata USERNAME PASSWORD : USERNAME is your username 
	  as above - the password is the one aggreed with zetnet for 
	  login and AntMail.
	- if you have a 28.8K modem, a Falcon, TT or MegaSTE and are 
	  using Modem 2, change the BAUD RATE to 110.


11) Find the file C:\STIK_DIR.DAT and edit the file to read: 
    C:\STIK_CFG\ - just like this one.

12) Create a folder C:\STIK_CFG\ and copy DIAL.SCR, DEFAULT.CFG and 
    STIK.RSC into it, from your previous stik config folder. (failing this 
    - simple re-install the zet_st pack and assign the path to install to 
    as c:\stik_cfg\)

13) Run Oasis, select "Internet", connect with STiK, then select 
    "Log-On" in oasis - after a few seconds, the NET> prompt should 
    appear. Use "smtp kick" to send mail, "pop kick" to receive and "nntp 
    kick" to send and receive news.

STiK and all the WWW accessories should still be useable after 
"exit"ing from NOS and quitting Oasis.


Best of luck,

David.
